Join local author, Loretta Sorensen, for a discussion about her debut fiction book and her writing journey at the Yankton Community Library on Saturday, August 23, at 10:00 AM.
Sorensen's first novel, These Dakota Dreams, is a historical Christian romance set in Yankton, South Dakota, in 1881, during the era of Laura Ingalls Wilder. This book is the first in a three-book series, with the second book scheduled for release on December 1, 2025.
In the wake of the merciless 1881 Dakota Territory “Great Flood,” 17-year-old Keri Miller stands amid the wreckage of her shattered world. Her family’s homestead lies in ruins, swept away by the churning, muddy waters that ravaged the plains. The vast, windswept prairie, once alive with promise under endless skies, now feels like a hollow expanse, echoing her grief and doubt. Has her faith in God, once as steadfast as the Dakota sun, been swept away too? Yet, in the quiet resilience of the rebuilding town, a spark of hope flickers—Karl Richmond, the young, earnest preacher with a voice that carries both warmth and conviction. Can he guide Keri through the storm of her sorrow to uncover a new dream rising from the ashes of the old?
These Dakota Dreams will be available for purchase along with Sorensen’s previous books. Ten percent of sales will be donated to the Yankton Community Library Foundation. This event is free and open to the public.
